Ryôgoku Kokugikan

It's sumo season in Tokyo! Though, to be fair, it's sumo season three months per year, as this arena, the Kokugikan in Ryôgoku, on the East bank of the Sumida-gawa two stops from Akihabara on the Chûô-Sôbu line, hosts half of the year's six major tournaments.

It wasn't open when I visited Tokyo, so I didn't see inside, but even then, there are apparently, and unsurprisingly, a lot of sumo-related places to visit in Ryôgoku, like Ekô-in temple... and I missed them all! Well, apart from the odd statue.

I went to Ryôgoku area without a real plan, I wandered around and found some interesting places I'll get to another time, but one thing I think I planned was to try the "lunch of champions", the classic stew for sumo wrestlers: chankonabe, or chanko for short. It was rich and copious, as you'd expect, and, as I remember, I didn't quite finish it.

Took a shot at chanko name and it wasn't bad, super filling.

居酒屋に寄り道して鍋でビール、この組み合わせがヤメられないです

Truthfully if you’re looking to put on weight it doesn’t hurt to check out how sumos do it, even if you’re only going for a little extra they’re pros at packing it on

Also google Chankonabe that’s like a staple of the sumo diet and also fucking delicious

(I assume we’re talking about the Ramen post? Sweet!)

That’s a great suggestion; I hadn’t even considered. I am trying to put on some healthy weight, I’ve always been >150lbs my whole life due to an eating disorder brought on by anxiety.

Also I bike everywhere I go year-round, so a high calorie diet is a must for my fuel.

Thanks for the suggestion fren^^
